For your safety & security, there is a camera on the exterior of this cabin pointing down the exterior steps that you must access to get in to this cabin. There are no other cameras and nothing that would impede on your privacy.

Common Concerns:
*Road Conditions: Some of our cabins are on steep, narrow, curvy, mountain roads. If you are concerned about road conditions to get to a cabin, please feel free to ask us! None of our cabins require a 4 wheel drive under normal weather conditions but some do in inclement weather.
*TV & WiFi: We do have TV's and WiFi in most all of our cabins. There are times when heavy cloud cover, weather systems, mountains, or trees will cause problems with the signals. We always want our guests to have the comforts they want on vacation, but there are times we cannot control this problem.
*Pests & Wildlife: Here in the Smoky Mountains, we have lots of native bugs and wildlife. All of our cabins are treated for pests, but there are times you will find bugs or even have trouble with bugs. Fall/Winter is ladybug season in the Smokies and these little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They will swarm to the cabin and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs come back right away and unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about them until the season passes. Please never feed, taunt or approach any wildlife. This is their home and we are the visitors.
*There are no refunds for storms or power outages. If there is a power outage, there will be no water and potentially no heat. Storms can also make roads impassable, so if a storm is in the forecast during your reservation, come prepared with water and non-perishable food, etc.

Cabin in the woods at Christmas

Decorated for Christmas made it feel cozy. Liked two bathrooms for each of us to get ready and spread our things out for ease of use. Loved the two fireplaces. The couch needs to be replaced because of no comfort watching TV. The cabin and everything else was very nice. We did not use the hot tub.

Great Location

The listing is an excellent description, the cabin is tucked away in a community of cabins very convenient to Townsend(3 mins) and the park (5 mins). The cabin was very clean and has a private and large front porch. We see ourselves staying here again.

My Dream Vacation

Staying in a log cabin in the woods was a dream of mine. The atmosphere was what i hope it would be. This was a home i would like to own one day. Everything was perfect. I would recommend this home to everyone.

Perfect!

The Bear Meade Cabin was absolutely perfect! The cabin was very clean and well cared for. The decor was very "cabin in the woods". The upstairs family room had big comfy chairs for reading or TV watching. We absolutely loved the hot tub. It is set back in the woods and the driveway is VERY steep but the setting is beautiful and worth the steep drive. It is located in Townsend so it took 40-45 minutes to get to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge but the drive through the park was stunning so we didn't mind it.

Nice cabin !

One family 2 adults and two kids, we had a great time. Cabin was clean and comfortable. We were not able to make upstairs big TV work, appeared to be some problem with cable service, but the downstairs TV worked fine. In regards to previous comments about driveway: it is not very steep and there is enough parking space for a couple of SUVs.

Nice cabin - very responsive property manager

We made our reservations at this location because there was a hot tub and it was in the general area where we were visiting. Unfortunately the hot tub was broken when we arrived. The property manager quickly offered two other properties where we could move that also had hot tubs. The responsiveness of the property manager was excellent. While we did not sleep in this location, it was very clean when we arrived. The cabin is nicely configured with everything you could need. I would recommend.

Had a wonderful time!

I could stay in a pig sty and be happy but my wife is a bit more discerning than I. She was very impressed with the cleanliness of the cabin and also with kitchen. She had everything she needed to do her magic in the magic. Even I noticed we had "real" plates and "real" silverware, not just the cheap stuff you find in so many rental places. The chairs in the downstairs living area were also very comfortable; I noticed that immediately as I have a bad back yet I was very comfortable. The only area of improvement I can really think of is if the TV had been in the living area instead of the bedroom so you could sit and watch. Yes, we could have gone upstairs and sat and watched the TV up there, but the sitting up there wasn't as comfortable as downstairs. All in all, we had a great time and really appreciated the beauty of the area.

Wonderful cabin

We loved our stay at a Bear Meade cabin. There were four of us - my husband and I in the downstairs room and our twin 5 year old in the upstairs room. Plenty of space for us. Nice kitchen with a variety of dishes/pots/utensils/etc. so we could cook some of our meals. Good size table for meals and games. Also an outside table in the porch for picnics. The girls loved the porch swing, having their own living room upstairs, the stuffed bears, and the hot tub for warming up after cold swims. My husband and I loved the quiet (close to neighbors but in the woods so you feel a nice sense of seclusion), the door in our bedroom out to the porch/hot tub, the overall setup etc. We only had one problem while we were there - a leak from the upstairs bathtub into the downstairs bathroom, but management came out and fixed it the next day. Very timely and helpful. Overall, we loved it, and we would definitely come again! Be aware that the driveway is fairly steep, but our van was able to manage it just fine.

Very disappointed!

Cabin needs attention. Pictures used for the website must be very old. The cabin needs more through cleaning. Large roach bugs in cabin. Roach bug crawled across my foot during shower. Another roach bug in vanity sink after shower. A spider was crawling across the bath towel. Lots of mildew on outside porch furniture. Shot bulbs in several light fixtures. No window covering on front door half window. We have been coming to the Smokies for over 30 years and this is the worst lodging experience that we have ever had. We will not return to this cabin. It is listed as a resort. This is no resort!
